Antique ROYAL WORCESTER Cobalt Blue & Painted Flowers Porcelain Lidded URN

Description: Description For sale is an utterly stunning antique Royal Worcester porcelain lidded urn. This is one of the best pieces of Royal Worcester I have ever come across! It has a very ornate design in a rich cobalt blue and gold glaze and features a hand painted flower bouquet on the front. It has stylised branch handles and a pierced rim underneath the lid. The urn has two porcelain lids. The main ornate lid plus a second internal flat lid. The base is stamped with the Royal Worcester mark which I've shown in close up photos. It has also been signed by the artist below the flower bouquet 'H. Chair'. The urn measures 24cm high including the lid by 18cm wide including the handles. It does have some condition issues but as you can see in the photos it still looks amazing on display. The top knob on the lid has been broken and glued back into place. There is one crack in the pierced rim which is thankfully on the back side. The base has some hairline cracks which are mostly only visible on the inside and underneath the urn. The cracks can be seen on the outside when you look very close under bright lights, but for the most part they are difficult to see within the cobalt glaze. Describing the faults makes them sound worse than they really are. I've included many photos and lots of close ups so you can clearly see the design and condition of the urn. There is no wear to speak of to any of the glaze, the gilt highlights or the painted flowers. The colours are strong and vivid with no fading and no loss to the gilding. This is one of the nicest Royal Worcester pieces currently available on ebay! It will be a stunning showpiece in any collection. It will be very carefully packed for postage to ensure it arrives safely. Check out my other listings for more interesting items!
